Hi, I was just wondering what places, builds (for either monk or dervish), and strategies are good for farming festival drops. Thanks in advance!

If (and it's a big if) the menu is the same as 2007 this is the link http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Canthan_New_Year_2007

I don't know if rats eat the same thing as pigs.

So we have to have factions and be on a factions character in order to do the events outside of the big praty thingy?

They didn't say it was locked to that, for drops at least.

The character doesn't need to be created in Factions.
Festival items usually drop in all campaigns.

Sorry, i had to.


EDIT: Just noticed you get 300 gold, enough to buy 10 piles? I could see this self perpetuating.
EDIT: (2) How do you access storage.. I did this last year and the price of Glittering Dust did rise during the festival.
Luckily I had a lot saved in advance but I did run out lol

I got alot of my Fortunes from Doing all the Quests on my characters. Do all of them in hour. Also alot Tokens from farming Halycon and GoK. Halycon is more rewarding because you get alot of golds and about 1-3 chests appear in same spots every run so it works great on Treasure title.
